Last Night in Colombia

My friends, the time has come to say goodbye to my time here in Colombia. Tomorrow at 4:30 AM we leave for the airprort. I hardly believe it's over, it's like there are so many things left to do and yet we leave tomorrow. The goodbye parties have helped get me ready, but they just make me sad. I hate saying goodbye! And the truth of the matter is that no matter what I think, I have no idea if I will ever be able to come back and visit. How do I finish up here and go back to a life I used to know? That life hardly seems real now, like a dream, and I know when I go back it will be very different from when I left it. And yet this life in Colombia that I know now will soon seem like a dream as well. How does one cope? My only answer is to stick to God all I can.
